I believe that this tragedy is an example of many scenarios that happen everyday in our country. Thats why the consequences that Terrence faces will be a wake up to young men and women who dare to make a choice to put themselves in the same shoes by taking another life. His story will be an cautionary tale of what are the true consequences of pulling the trigger.
As we all have choices, choices that define who we are, and most importantly we have to live with those choices. Personally I may have never learned my lessons in my life had I never had to face the extreme consequences of my actions. Same thing with Terrence who may never learn his lesson until he can grasp the irreversible action of taking a life, and alternating the path of 4 others, really hundreds of others. As the mother and father of Wali Clanton will never get to see their son accomplish his dream of graduating from college, or the 4 wounded who could never forget being shot, or the 200 other party goers who will be haunted by that night when they simply wanted only to have a fun night out in their teen years, but instead they came out with a terrible experience that which they may never forget.
Forgive me for putting a lot of emphasis on the ppl who were affected by Terrence's actions, but WE are the ones who won't be at peace until he is charged to the highest degree, because all though his wrong can never been undone, he can serve a purpose to send a message that murder is not something we here in the United States of America take kindly. Lastly I end on the note that what Terrence Montgomery Jr. choose to do on the night of June 13th has caused a lifetime of damage, as that night he took not one life but two, because he took his own, and he change his the direction of his own life by pulling that trigger. And that he has to live with.
